SAS IT Resource
Management supports various adapters that enable you to load raw data
about IT resources from many diverse data sources and convert that
raw data into a standard form that facilitates aggregation and reporting
on your IT resources. These adapters extract data from raw data files
in a given data source and load that data into staged tables in the
IT data mart.
The following table
lists each SAS IT Resource Management adapter and identifies the software
versions of the raw data sources that were used to verify each of
them. The remainder of this appendix provides information about how
to prepare the raw data source for use by SAS IT Resource Management.
Note: The specific software versions
of the raw data sources in this table have been used to verify each
SAS IT Resource Management adapter. This information is not an exclusive
list of all data source versions that are supported. Earlier versions
of some data source software might be supported and future releases
of some data source software might be compatible and supported by
adapters for SAS IT Resource Management. For information about supporting
a data source version that is not included in the following table,
contact your SAS Installation Representative or on-site SAS support
personnel.
The following topics
provide information about how to access raw data for each adapter.
These topics might also provide information about how adapters process
that data, when those processes differ from the standard approach
used by IT Resource Management.
